The ad's on TV a lot at the moment, and I was so taken with the gorilla, that I didn't notice the link at the end for ages. It's had a huge response since it was first shown here, so I guess the link doesn't matter - everyone will end up knowing it's a Cadbury ad anyway. Maybe the marketing guys knew that? Mind you, I never link half the ads on TV these days, they're completely wasted on me. . . now I'm just popping out for some chocolate

I disagree. Ads like this always catch my attention, like, "what is THIS for?" And I inevitably remember the product because of it.

EXACTLY! (You hit the nail right square on the head!)

 

[mochimon]

i would say that "in marketing this deserve a big 0" is off by like ten.

i mean we're here on a HEADPHONE forum discussing an add for chocolate for petes sake. this is exactly what viral marketing is supposed to do.

So it is true even a monkey can drum like Phil Collins.
Kidding kidding, I love Genesis/Phil Collins.

I like how the high hat was going the entire time even though the high hat isn't even used in that part of the song. Oh well, fun commercial

 

[will75]

I love how he cracks his neck before he starts drumming. Very good commercial. And, the gorilla truely had a look of "joy" on his face which is part of their slogan.

I love that too, also at 0.44 where he flashes his tooth at the camera just before he cracks his neck. Great close-ups of the face

 

[MaillerPhong]

Man, now I have to listen to the song to get the full buildup before going ape-sh** with the air drumming.

i love this ad!

Has anyone seen the MacDonald's ad where some guy has drum pads strapped to him, he sings "i like to live in the forest", I think it is so funny! Just the way he says it.

Its about paying 99p for a concert, thats what you get.

I wish i could find it on the internet, but i cant

When this came on my wife was talking to me and I actually had to ask her to stop, my tiny little mind couldn't comprehend Riverdancing Chimps and listen to her at the same time

Damn, now I want BLT
